J does all three. I could care less what he does for a living one day as long as he's happy, but it was interesting.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing your experiences. I don't understand why it is so hard to accomodate children who are unique IN PRESCHOOL. Even if they talk more, I can have a really hard time understanding the kids Cracker will be joining in the fall. Glad to hear that there is such a happy ending! I agree, if I'd stop talking I'd know I'd be a lot smarter too!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07867700088921824944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21269148.post-1149454244502520322006-06-04T14:50:00.000-06:002006-06-04T14:50:00.000-06:00ok that does it!

I am not a total slave for life to your blog you said this : <BR/>Another problem compounding it all (though not the sole cause) was that he was severely tongue tied, which runs in J's family. The medical theory du jour is to give kids a lot of time to outgrow it rather than just fix it, which some do. Instead of a simple snip at birth, we had to fight to get it done at 2.5 years. It was obvious rather early that he wasn't going to outgrow it. So that meant general anesthesia, a real OR and a big ordeal. My baby in the OR? I was hysterical.<BR/><BR/>here goes.. this might be a long one! my son was born severly toung tied too, as was his older brother but his snapped during a crying jag at 6 months, anyways blake was so tied he could not get his toung to his teeth, his toung was kind of folded under at the tip we heard soooo many times' he will out grow it, its just a stage" blah blah then when blake needed a left orchopexy( sp?) ( it was undecended testes operation) we decided to get his toung snipped at the same time, voilay at 2.5 years he had surger on his top and bottom LOL, and he could talk... just not clearly, blake starts ST too, on june 28th! on may 3 he had a right orchopexi ( same problem as earlier just other side ... they did not do both sides during hte first operation because they are retards)<BR/><BR/>anyway blake is four now ( just turned) and he is super super smart too. infact we had to move to a new school devision because whn blake was 3 he could point out written words.. id say find " would" and he would point, "find cat" he would point... he couldnt say them but he jknew them, the school said he would not be able to join the school because they are not equipped to handle some one like him! as if! so we have moved so thjat when he is five, after thi9s years ST he can go to school... <BR/><BR/>i think, after reading your story that maybe its the talking or lack there of that makes them smart! maybe because they cannot communicate verbally they internalise it all, and think and learn at a more advanced rate? seriously if i spent the time that i do talking to people reading and learning maybe id be a whole lot smarter too!<BR/><BR/><BR/>im reading the archives now LOLBluepaintredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09049030161558766505noreply@blogger.com
